A candidate for Citizen of the Year should be an individual (or couple) who has a heart to serve others. This typically is not someone who is constantly in the public eye but someone who "flies below the radar screen" and is not seeking public recognition.

To be eligible, your nominee must:

• Currently be a citizen of Northern Kentucky

• Have the respect and admiration of their friends, neighbors and peers.

• Play an active and useful role in the community

• Exemplify the "Service above Self" standard in his or her professional and community involvement.

If the citizen has been previously nominated and was not the award winner, they are still eligible to receive the award.
